I'm posting outside the tents at 3:30AM as the strikers sleep. It's freezing out here... but the strikers seem to be well-protected.
A new online petition can be found here. Please sign it, and tell your friends!

Why We Strike
We strike because student input on these issues through years of meetings and protest has been ignored or patronized, and the response to our demands for change has been woefully insufficient...
The recent acts of hate on this campus have lent urgency to a long-existing effort to address this university’s climate of marginalization... City Planning’s decision on Columbia’s rezoning proposal for West Harlem is due in less than two months... Lastly, we act in solidarity with the students that recently mobilized around the Jena Six case and see our strike as part of a larger struggle against racism and injustice...
